Promotions and new releases at Tinhorn Creek Photo: Sandra Oldfield (credit to Chris Mason Stearns) Just in time for the fall Okanagan Wine Festival, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards has released its three premium red wines and its regular Merlot. The regular Cabernet Franc, also reviewed here, was released in August. These are all first-rate wines and they come in what has been an eventful year at this south Okanagan winery. Two developments stand out in particular. In June the winery announced quietly (on its website and not with a widely distributed news release) that winemaker Sandra Oldfield had also become the winery’s president and chief executive. This may actually be a new position at Tinhorn Creek. In 2008 Shaun Everest, the winery’s former marketing manager, became general manager. Since the management at Tinhorn Creek has always been somewhat collegial, perhaps one need not attach that much weight to titles. The other development at Tinhorn Creek this year was the opening in April of Miradoro Restaurant at the winery.

Wine&Spirits Magazine TigullioVino.it - Cultura del Vino & Comunicazione Nashoba Valley Winery, Orchard and J's Restaurant. 2008 Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir | Blog Wine Cellar I've always loved to taste the Pinot's from this estate because of their commitment to delivering classic Pinot Noir in a style that I believe perfectly represents what the Carneros appellation is all about. It's cool weather Pinot Noir that delivers a great purity and clarity, and demonstrates great balance between fruit and acidity. I fondly remember tasting several aged Pinot's from this winery as well, and I can tell you that they age like some of the finest Burgundies. The 2008 Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir was made from 100% estate-grown fruit from vineyards located in the Carneros appellation. The color of this wine is lighter-hued and is exactly what I expected before opening this bottle. On the nose I get beautiful aromas of raspberry pie, black cherry, orange peel, rose petal, nutmeg, and very subtle hints of smoke. On the palate the wine has a very old world style texture, but at the same time it shows the California sunshine in it's ripe fruit flavors.
